Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!

Happy Saturday, everyone! It's been a couple of weeks since I last hosted Stacking the Shelves, and I got quite a few books! I had a birthday (we'll say that it was beyond 21 but less than 40) and received a couple books, continued to check books out of the library (it's an addiction; thank goodness it's free), plus bought textbooks for this semester. I'm in two classes and had to buy SEVEN textbooks! How crazy is that? I won't bore y'all listing them here. Here are the more fun books that I brought home recently:

Gifts... Shiny Broken Pieces was from a coworker for no reason :), Raymie Nightingale and The Journal of Major George Washington were for my birthday, and The Brownie Girl Scout Handbook was a trip down memory lane from my mom. (I had asked specifically for Raymie Nightingale- the author, Kate DiCamillo, is coming to my library next month, so I can get it signed!)

From the library: The Rosetta Key, The Dakota Cipher. and Rumors- audiobook downloads. Also, Super Baby Food. My dad turned me on to the Ethan Gage series (The Rosetta Key and The Dakota Cipher are books #2 & #3) and they've been surprisingly good! Kind of a mix between The DaVinci Code and historic fiction. I've only barely started Rumors by Anna Godbersen, so I don't have an opinion yet. And Super Baby Food because it's crazy, but the boy is already nearing starting food!

What about you? What great reads have you brought home lately? Leave your link to join the fun!

Sorry for linking up so late - first I forgot it on Saturday evening and then the heatwave made it impossible to start my laptop. I like your haul, looks great! The cover of Rumors by Anna Godbersen looks fantastic - don´t know why, but that ballgown kind of speaks to me *smile*. And my compliment to your new design. Looks good.
